After Liu Linxi and Chu Yunfeng arrived at the post house, they were a little relieved when everything was arranged properly.

However, the stone in Liu Linxi's heart still couldn't fall to the ground, and she always felt a little inexplicably uneasy.

"Today, I thought you would ask about the situation in the northwest." Chu Yunfeng said.

"I want to ask, but I'm afraid asking too many questions will make them suspicious." Liu Linxi said: "I've been in a coma for so long in Dry Bone Village, so it's not easy to directly show my cards to them, lest they become suspicious and refuse to send troops at that time, then It will be troublesome."

But right now there is no news from Li Yan, which shows that the battle will definitely not be easy.

Otherwise, Li Yan couldn't think of a way to find him. In three months, he should have found Ju Guo anyway.

"I didn't expect them to agree so easily." Chu Yunfeng said.

"The emperor of Ju is a smart man. If he offends us right now, it will be even more difficult for us to make friends in the future." Liu Linxi said: "You see, their palace is very ornately decorated, but the palace in this royal city If the prosperity is compared to the capital of the banquet, it is not a star."

Chu Yunfeng nodded and said: "If the royal city is like this, ordinary people can imagine it."

Liu Linxi said: "So this time they send troops to unite with us, there are only advantages and no disadvantages. Once the battle is won, we will remember their good, and we will always make compromises and concessions on other things."

"Tomorrow they will definitely discuss the details of dispatching troops, and they will let us enter the palace at that time." Chu Yunfeng said: "There will be a lot of people at that time, but we can find an opportunity to find out about the situation in the northwest."

Liu Linxi said: "Well, as long as you don't show your feet."

The two guessed right, and the next day the emperor of Ju State agreed with everyone in the court to send troops.Liu Linxi and Chu Yunfeng were not there at the time, but I think the emperor persuaded the courtiers, because when Liu Linxi entered the palace to listen afterwards, almost no courtiers raised objections to the dispatch of troops.

"We can send out only 7 troops now." A minister said to the emperor, "It will take some time to raise food and grass for the [-] people."

The emperor said: "The soldiers in the eastern border can be withdrawn and sent to Dayan. The left and right Ju countries are bordered by the Dayan country, so there is no need to worry about the safety of the eastern border. As for the food and grass, first take out all the available in the treasury. After raising the funds, we will make up for the shortfall.”

"If the eastern border is also added, it should be able to gather [-] troops." The minister said.

The emperor nodded this time, looked at Liu Linxi and said, "General Liu, with all the efforts of the country of Ju, one hundred thousand troops can be assembled and sent to the northwest of the banquet. Is General Liu satisfied?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, I have heard about the bravery of the Ju army before, and one hundred thousand troops is enough." Liu Linxi said.

He had already seen that the emperor of Ju Kingdom and the minister just now were just singing along, showing that they were trying their best in front of him.If Liu Linxi's guess is correct, if he argues with reason again, it is estimated that there will be 2 more people.

But he didn't give the other party this chance to perform, because the biggest significance of Ju's sending troops this time is not the number of people, but the deterrence to Dazhou and Qingyi.Once the two countries form an alliance, they will be tied together. If it is really necessary to send troops again, Ju will have no way out.

So Liu Linxi is not in a hurry to let them have more people.

Seeing that he directly agreed, the emperor was a little surprised, but didn't say much.

"This time I plan to send the most brave generals in the country of Ju to lead the army. General Liu has probably heard of his name, General Weilong, Xinghu." After the emperor finished speaking, a tall and powerful general came out, Liu Linxi Looking at this person, I feel quite imposing.However, he doesn't know much about the affairs of Ju country, so he doesn't know any powerful dragons and tigers at all.

But if you want to come to Ju State, you have sent [-] troops, and you will definitely send reliable generals to lead them. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, they will lose in the end.On this point, Liu Linxi was not worried at all.

"With General Weilong in charge, I'm sure that this expedition will return in triumph." Liu Linxi said.

Everyone heard the words and said auspicious words, and the emperor was inexplicably impassioned...

"This time, with the emperor of the Great Banquet Kingdom personally serving as the head coach, and our General Weilong, we must be able to take down Dazhou and Qingyi Kingdom in one fell swoop very soon." A courtier said.

There was another burst of impassioned people.

Liu Linxi's breathing was stagnant, and she almost lost her composure on the spot...

Just now that person said that the monarch of the Great Banquet Kingdom is the head coach?

What does it mean?

How could the well-behaved Li Yan go to the Northwest Royal Conquest!No wonder there has been no news from the capital. Liu Linxi always felt that something was wrong before, and now he finally knows the reason.

There is no news from the capital because Li Yan is not in the capital at all.

Liu Linxi had all sorts of worries and entanglements in her heart, but she had to endure it, for fear that her gaffe would arouse everyone's suspicion.Chu Yunfeng was also quite worried, and kept paying attention to Liu Linxi's movements, seeing that he quickly recovered his demeanor, he was a little relieved.

Everyone finalized many details of sending troops together, and the field ended near dusk.

Before leaving, Liu Linxi suddenly remembered something, and asked the emperor: "When I was in the palace that day, there were guards in the palace who went to the palace, and they brought a portrait of someone very similar to me, saying that they were related to assassins. I don't know if the assassin has a clue now?"

"I've seen that portrait, and it does look a bit like General Liu, but it's not a portrait of the assassin, but it was left behind by the assassin when the guards were arresting him," said the emperor.

It means that the portrait fell from the assassin?

"Why did the assassin bring my portrait? Could it be that he wanted to assassinate me?" Liu Linxi asked in surprise.

"Don't worry, General Liu, I have sent guards to protect you at any time, and there are many guards in the post house, so you will not let anything go wrong." The emperor said: "Besides, the assassin was there long before General Liu came to Ju. He has been active in Wangcheng for a long time, and it may not be for General Liu, maybe it is just someone who looks similar to General Liu."

Liu Linxi nodded upon hearing this, and did not continue to dwell on this topic.

But a thought vaguely came to his mind...

After returning to the inn, Liu Linxi felt more and more strange as he thought about it.

"What do you think the Northwest is going to be like? Why did His Majesty conquest?" Liu Linxi asked.

"I don't know anything about war, but it should be quite tricky," Chu Yunfeng said.

Liu Linxi frowned and said, "Do you still remember what Mr. Cheng did when he was in the Xuzhou Camp?"

"Remember." Chu Yunfeng said: "Cheng Taifu taught Wei Yang a lesson in public, in order to let him go to the northwest, so that he can cooperate well with Lu Shuai."

Liu Linxi said: "The reason why Taifu Cheng did this is because the most taboo thing in the first army is to have two coaches. Wei Yang was the coach of the Xuzhou camp before. If Taifu Cheng didn't let him realize his position, after arriving in the northwest There is no way to fight a battle between two armies but two commanders.”

"You mean, even if His Majesty goes to the northwest, he won't fight in person because of the presence of Marshal Lu?" Chu Yunfeng asked.

"If Shuai Lu is fine, he shouldn't have gone to the Northwest." Liu Linxi said, "Since he has gone, it means that the Northwest Army's original commander..."

Liu Linxi didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was already obvious.

Just now he refrained from asking the courtiers of Ju State on the spot, but he also guessed that Lu Zhibang might have died for the country...

"Shuai Lu has been fighting in the northwest for so many years, but now..." Liu Linxi said, "The battle in the northwest must be very tragic, and His Majesty's personal conquest... must be very dangerous."

Chu Yunfeng said: "So we are right this time, as soon as the reinforcements from Ju Kingdom arrive, the battle will definitely be reversed."

Liu Linxi nodded and said, "I hope, this is already the last resort."

That night Liu Linxi tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

He was very worried about Li Yan, and also worried about the outcome of this battle...

He had always remembered that Li Yan also experienced a very dangerous battle in the original book, but it was caused by Cheng Yuan's incitement to build Xuzhou.This time, the internal troubles were solved by him by mistake, but he did not expect that in exchange for a more urgent external trouble.

I just don't know whether Li Yan can win this war like in the original book this time.

When Liu Linxi was anxious, he suddenly heard a sound from the roof. He listened carefully and knew that someone was walking on it.Liu Linxi held his breath and concentrated on his defensive posture, when he heard the sound getting closer and closer, the last black shadow suddenly fell and landed outside his window.

The black shadow hesitated outside the window for a moment, stretched out his hand and tapped it lightly a few times, but did not break through the window.

Liu Linxi looked puzzled, and for a moment she couldn't tell what the black shadow was doing.

Seeing that there was no movement inside, the black shadow was trying to open the window when suddenly a shout came from the courtyard, and then the fire flickered, and guards gathered over.Seeing that it was not good, Hei Ying jumped over to the roof and slipped away.

The guards outside yelled and searched around but found nothing, and finally came to confirm Liu Linxi's safety before leaving.But after this incident, they sent more people to guard the door of Liu Linxi's room, and even arranged guards on the roof.

"I didn't expect them to take your safety so seriously?" Chu Yunfeng was also woken up, and ran over from the next door.

Liu Linxi lowered her voice, and said, "I've always thought that the matter of assassins was rather weird, but today's troubles made me feel even more strange."

"What's so strange?" Chu Yunfeng asked, "Is it because they carried your portrait?"

"Yes, have you ever thought that maybe they brought my portrait not to kill me, but to find me." Liu Linxi said.

Chu Yunfeng thought for a while and said: "If His Majesty sends someone to look for you, he will definitely send someone he knows. Why do you bring a portrait?"

"Supposing it was someone you were looking for and couldn't find it, what would you do?" Liu Linxi asked.

"I will... find someone to ask." Chu Yunfeng said: "So they have been looking for you secretly, but there is no news, so they took your portrait and asked others?"

Liu Linxi said: "Before, I still couldn't figure it out. If His Majesty wanted to find me, he could easily find the inn by asking Lao Zhu in Xuzhou, but the guard in the inn hadn't heard from the capital. Now that I think about it, if His Majesty is in Lao Zhu They had already set out for the northwest before returning to Xuzhou, so he would not have found Lao Zhu."

"So, this assassin was either sent by His Majesty before he left the capital, or he was sent after he arrived in the northwest." Chu Yunfeng said.

Liu Linxi took a deep breath and said, "The guards in this post house are too tight. Let's find a chance to go out tomorrow. If the other party already knows my whereabouts, they will definitely be watching near the post house."

"You want to meet the assassin?" Chu Yunfeng asked.

"Yes." Liu Linxi said: "I must know the current situation in the northwest, as well as the situation of His Majesty."

Chu Yunfeng hesitated: "What if, he really just wants to kill you?"

"Then you protect me." Liu Linxi said: "Aren't you good at poisoning? It depends on whether your poison is fast or the opponent's sword is fast."

Although Chu Yunfeng felt something was wrong when he heard the words, Liu Linxi was very anxious at the moment. If he was not allowed to find out what happened, he might get sick, but Chu Yunfeng had no choice but to compromise.

In the early morning of the second day, Liu Linxi and Chu Yunfeng left the posthouse with an excuse.

Not long after, the two used Ji to get rid of the accompanying guards.

Then the two deliberately went to the crowded street, walking from the street to the end of the street twice.Liu Linxi was full of confidence at the beginning, and she was sure that the other party would follow, but after walking around twice, she didn't see anyone suspicious, so she was a little discouraged.

Chu Yunfeng bought two candy figurines, one in each hand, and asked, "Could it be that this kind of person only moves at night and doesn't go out during the day?"

"Then shall we come out at night?" Liu Linxi asked.

"Maybe you guessed wrong early in the morning..." Chu Yunfeng was in the middle of speaking, looking at a certain direction on the corner of the street, suddenly startled, and asked: "That person has been watching us..."

Liu Linxi followed his gaze, and saw a man standing in the shadow of the street corner.

The other party was wearing an inconspicuous coarse cloth, but a scar on his face was very obvious.

"That's... Liu Yi?" Liu Linxi asked.

This person is Li Yan's secret guard leader, Liu Yi.

When Liu saw that Liu Linxi had noticed him, he turned and walked into the alley.Liu Linxi and Chu Yunfeng looked around and no one noticed, so they followed Liu Yi into the alley.The three of them turned around the corner of the street, and when they arrived at a deserted house, Liu Yicai stopped and saluted Liu Linxi.

"It really is you." Liu Linxi said.

"The humble official has been looking for the general in Wangcheng for nearly three months." Liu Dao said: "Your Majesty doesn't know the general's plan, and he is afraid of destroying the general's plan, so let us do things in secret. The humble official can only inquire secretly and keep an eye out. Those who enter and leave the palace and the palace finally wait for the general."

Liu Linxi was shocked when he heard the words, it was hard to imagine how these people spent the past three months in Wangcheng.

"You haven't left here for three months?" Liu Linxi asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty ordered us not to return to Beijing if we can't find the general." Liu said.

Liu Linxi was a little disappointed when he heard the words, and asked, "So you don't know anything about the war in the northwest?"

"There will be secret letters every three days." After Liu Yi finished speaking, he took out the letter box he carried with him and handed it to Liu Linxi, "This was just sent from the northwest yesterday. There is no change in the war, but His Majesty has fallen..."

Liu Linxi was shocked when he heard the words, and after reading the secret letter, his complexion turned pale.

The letter only stated that Li Yan fell from the horse, and did not mention details or injuries, but these few words were enough to make Liu Linxi feel anxious.

The battlefield is full of dangers, and a little carelessness can endanger life...

Li Yan is very skillful in pampering, after all he has no experience in combat, this time must be extremely dangerous for him.
